Lions Beat Bengals 37-24 for Fourth Straight Win Behind Takeaways and Goff’s Accuracy

Takeaway-driven defense plus an accurate Jared Goff is defining Detroit’s surge.

Overview

  • Detroit’s defense generated three takeaways, forced two fumbles and hit Jake Browning nine times to control the game for three quarters.
  • Jared Goff delivered another efficient outing and now leads the NFL in completion percentage at 75.2% and touchdown passes with 12.
  • Aidan Hutchinson continued his elite run with five sacks in five games, three straight forced fumbles and eight pressures against Cincinnati, reinforcing early DPOY buzz.
  • Cornerback depth remains thin with D.J. Reed on injured reserve and others banged up, as Amik Robertson posted six tackles and his first Lions interception but later allowed a 65-yard Ja’Marr Chase touchdown.
  • Cincinnati’s slide reached three games as Browning threw three interceptions and acknowledged, “I played awful today,” despite three late touchdown passes.
